Welcome to the page for Math 233! This course is about
differential and integral calculus of functions of two and three variables.
We will cover vectors, curves and surfaces in space, partial derivatives,
multiple integrals, line integrals, and vector calculus through Green’s
Theorem. The prerequisite is Math 132, or a score of 4 or 5 on the Advanced
Placement Calculus Examination (BC version).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WEBWORK: There will be
10 Webwork assignments during the semester and the
dates that each are due are listed below on the syllabus, and each must be
completed by 11:59pm on that day.Webworkcan be found
on Blackboard.

GRADES :Each of the
Exams 1-3 will count 19% toward the final course grade
while the Final Exam will count 28% . The remaining
15% will reflect webwork grades .
If E1 , E2 , E3 , and F are your four exam scores and
WW is your webwork average , each scaled
to 100, then your
total T is given by :

T
= .19(E1 + E2 + E3 ) + .28 F + .15 WW
In cases where the lowest of the E1-E3 is less than the grade
on the final, this lowest value will be replaced in the formula for
T by F . Thus, the lowest in-semester exam will
be dropped out in computing averages provided this lowest score isn’t the
final.

Then your letter grade
for the course will be based on the scale appearing in the
following table.

Missed Exams : If you are unable to take
one of Exams E1-E3 for legitimate reasons ( such as verified
illness or serious family emergency ) you will not be given a make-up exam . You first need to
explain to me why you missed the exam and if everything is in order you
will get an excused absence. Your grade for the missed exam
will be calculated by a statistical procedure which uses your scores on
the other taken exams, including the Final. If the only exam you miss is
the Final Exam, and for that receive an excused absence, then you must
take a make-up Final exam at the beginning of
the Spring semester. Until then your grade will be listed as F/NCR.

Graphing calculators and programmable calculators are not permitted
for this course. Calculators which do not compute integrals and are not
programmed for graphing are acceptable.
Here are some examples of such calculators:

Note: Use of a prohibited calculator at an exam is an academic integrity
violation. Any detected violation of academic integrity will be referred to
the disciplinary committee of the College of Arts and Sciences.

Just before each exam you can look up your exam room assignment on the web (see above, "check here on exam day" ) .
The room will probably not be your regular classroom, and it may change for
each exam. You will be allowed to enter the exam room a few minutes before
the starting time to locate your seat and personalized exam booklet which
will have your name printed on it in large letters.

EXAM
RETURNS : There will be a short time after each exam is
graded when you can look at your graded exam to see if you feel there
might have been some error in the grading.
